Hi there. I'm starting over again myself. Five days in and trying to overcome my urge to slack already. :/ Five years ago I used this app to lose 65 pounds, and I was feeling amazing. I really loved myself. Then the holidays hit, and it was all downhill from there. Over the past 5 years I gained back 57 pounds. :( I'm down…

Phenomenal! You are an inspiration!

Great list. Thanks.

you are doing so fantastic! I love that you are my friend, and that I have someone so great to take this journey with! :heart:

I have PCOS (stopped taking Metformin after my little one was born last July though) and have been zig zagging calories for about 3 months now and I absolutely love it. I was stuck for a month straight with no weight loss, and as soon as I started zig zagging my calories the pounds began to drop off. and they have…

you look awesome! and that dress is really sexy! I'm a bit jealous! :wink:

yes you just sprinkle the dry mix over the fruits. the moisture from the pineapple, pie filling, and margarine makes it moist and delicious.

they use Splenda in the mix instead of sugar.

lol it's called Dump Cake because you just basically dump the ingredients into your pan and throw it in the oven. no mixing or prepping needed.

thank you very much!

lol thanks!

thanks everyone! it feels awesome to know it's not all in my head and everyone else can see the change so far too lol.

thanks!

:blushing: so much attention! you guys sure do know how to make a girl feel special! :smile:

thank you so much everyone! all of your kind words are so awesome and keep me going! :heart: to you all!

Thanks everyone! I am feeling so much better about myself after seeing the comparison of these photos. Can't believe I've accomplished so much already! It feels awesome!

thanks! I think so too! :smile:

I started MFP on May 2 of this year at 262.2 pounds. So it took me just shy of 23 weeks to lose 46 pounds, and the 11 I lost before starting MFP I really didn't keep track of, so I'm not sure on that part.

48 tablespoons, or servings, per recipe. or thereabouts.

maybe I should clarify. I know what to do with the jalapeno jelly. I am looking for recipes to make the jelly. thanks!

thanks for sharing that one! have you tried that particular recipe before? I have a feeling I am going to be making a TON of different batches of the stuff to find just the perfect one for me! :laugh:

thanks! that sounds simple enough! the others I've tried have been red or clear(ish) with bits of peppers in them.

^^^^ this! edited to add: I am zig zagging my calories, and I eat within 10 +/- calories of my NET zig zag calorie goal. and the weight has been melting off.

my Tuesday menu: food-wise, couldn't really say. I generally eat whatever sounds good (and healthy *usually*) at the time, :laugh: . workout-wise, just walked for 15 minutes on my treadmill with the baby strapped to my chest *that was as long as it would run before stopping. :cry: trying to figure it out but so far all of…

^^^^ agree with both of these responses!

my girls both absolutely love it! definitely a regular treat in our household. :)

welcome! :smile:

count me in! glad to have you back at it with the challenges!

I got really bored with it too. so much so in fact that I never even bothered finishing it.
